How long do they last, do you think are they better than the green ones?

How ya porky,  i don't know to be honest.  I can usually fix them (green or black) as i have about 10 old ones that i can use to make up a good one.  I only bought this black one as it was so cheap including delivery.

I knew I would find an exciting thread like this when I started looking for a replacement fuel cap for my husky combi can 😀

Problem with mine is that as well as not closing (that's not such an issue for me, I just push it closed before taking it out of the tank) it has also cracked where it screws on to the can. Mine is like the one pictured by the OP. My question is whether the stihl cap will fit the Husky can, as they appear to be marginally better. Anybody tried this?

I considered doing this when the 3rd spout started to stick, but after asking a few people I got the stihl can/spouts and not had an issue since.

 

If it helps I'll try putting the stihl spout on a husky can to find out if it fits

Would be appreciated please. Although if stihl are anything like husky ones it won't be much cheaper buying just the spout than buying the whole can with spouts 🙁

Tried it today and I'm afraid the stihl cap doesn't fit on the husky can

Currently using the oil push spout for fuel on mine, and so is one of the guys I work with. (its the lighter grey one) seems to be lasting better.

Found this in the oil tank of a 346 I'm rebuilding, I believe from a husky can.

well it's a couple of quid cheaper than the fuel one for some reason, so I'll go for that. Just have to be careful not to put chain oil in the fuel tank 😬

Interestingly, you can get a "winter" spout for the oil:

Presumably because the oil is too cold to flow properly in the winter with the stop. Never much liked having the stop for the oil anyway, so I think I'll get one of these for the oil side (cheaper as well), give the oil one a good clean and put it on the fuel side

I got that supplied with my can as well as the 2 push type
